Reset password not working

[GWill71583]

I've forgotten my password for my Virgin Media account and every time I try and reset the password it tells me that it is invalid no matter what password I choose (within the limits provided). I've seen on the forum that loads of people have had the same issue over the years but the result doesn't seen to be solved on the forum. Can someone please help?

Literally everything you need to do on the virgin media website requires you to sign in, the live chat section just tells you there is one rather than takes you to a live chat, and the telephone has no relevant options (while clearly trying to avoid anyone speaking to a human).

Can’t find email you sent

This really is a joke. I've been struggling with this issue for years, every time my auto-login expires i have to go through this same process of trying to input an acceptable password. You follow the instructions, which in different places is contradictory. How can this still be an issue after literally years of people raising it. I do not ever ever experience such an issue with the dozens of other sites/apps i use. Only Virgin Media put users through this pain - it's incredulous!

I'm having the same problem. I only changed things because VM requested me to do so. Now i can't change the password to something more suitable for me. Obviously a big issue, but no fix other than to reach out!

Please help.

Same, absolutely ridiculous that a company this size has these type of issues. No other way to contact, can make no changes to account, it's like you people don't even want customers.

Same problem. Can’t change password. Gets to 8th character and says strength invalid. Sort it out VM.
